How to shift from automation to autonomy with agentic AI in manufacturing
Our AI agents rely on a combination of capabilities, empowering manufacturing teams to respond to deviations from standard operating procedures faster, define the optimal corrective action, and reduce risks related to production continuity.
1 Continuous operational monitoring
Process historical and real-time data, such as sensor streams, production logs, shift reports, operator notes, as well as images and videos captured by computer vision systems, to understand operational context and detect potential issues, such as abnormal equipment performance.
2 Data‑driven decision-making
Identify the likely root causes of detected anomalies and determine the next best course of action to fix the problem, taking into account current production load, asset criticality, and production constraints.
3 Controlled action execution
Act on the derived insights by planning and executing targeted measures, such as adjusting machine parameters, rerouting production to another line, and initiating maintenance requests and notifications via the CMMS.
Accelerate issue resolution and reduce operator workload with agentic AI in manufacturing
Leverage AI agents for your manufacturing business
We create solutions for diverse agentic AI applications in manufacturing, facilitating efficient data analysis, decision-making, and autonomous action execution across the entire production lifecycle.
Production performance optimization | AI agents analyze production data across MES, ERP, and PLCs to identify bottlenecks and root causes impacting performance. If production falls behind schedule, the agent quickly determines whether the key drivers are equipment performance, material supply constraints, or workforce-related variability, and highlights where corrective actions will have the greatest impact on OEE and schedule adherence. |
|---|---|
Quality control & defect prevention | Manufacturing companies can optimize quality control processes by using our AI agents that process inspection reports, in-process product quality data, and historical defect patterns to forecast potential product quality issues. Our AI agents determine whether the problem stems from improper equipment calibration, incorrect execution of standard operating procedures (SOPs), or poor raw material quality and recommend corrective actions to prevent defect propagation. Where authorized, they automatically adjust machine settings or trigger defective part removal from the production line. |
Equipment maintenance | Based on the analysis of sensor data, maintenance history records, and operational logs, our AI agents detect early signs of equipment wear, like abnormal vibration or temperature spike, and establish a root cause, such as component degradation or misalignment. After that, they choose the most suitable action to prevent equipment failure, draft work orders and spare parts requests, and optimize machine parameters or maintenance schedules to prevent unplanned downtime. |
Shop floor orchestration | Our AI agents prepare shift briefing documents with production priorities, equipment status, current site hazards, and handover insights, facilitating consistent SOP execution. Our agents can also verify the team’s readiness for changeovers by checking the availability of the required tooling and materials, as well as generate incident summaries and recommend the most efficient incident response actions. |
Procurement decision guidance | We develop AI agents that evaluate BOM, inventory, and supplier data, prepare RFQ/RFP drafts for suppliers, and recommend cost-effective sourcing options. Additionally, our AI agents can predict material demand or shortage, identify suppliers with appropriate lead times, and suggest adjustments to replenishment plans to prevent line stoppages. |
Workforce support | Our AI agents streamline and perform employee onboarding, providing operators and engineers with explanations of SOPs and safety rules in simple language, enabling multilingual workforce assistance and document translation, creating role-specific learning paths, monitoring training progress of operators currently working on the line, and preventing access to the lines for employees without proper skills. Additionally, they can draft onboarding plans, generate short operator tests after process changes, and develop detailed reports on available skillsets. |
Choose your AI agent’s autonomy level
To reduce operational risks and ensure AI agent predictability and reliability, we determine the optimal level of autonomy for each AI agent. We define who is authorized to validate agent decisions, establish clear approval workflows, and draw agent permission boundaries, implementing the following AI agent autonomy levels:
Assisted intelligence
An AI agent provides insights or suggests actions based on the processed data. Operators and engineers review outputs and act on the insights themselves.
Guided automation
Our AI-driven agent provides recommendations, explanations, and multiple ranked options and, in order to take action, requires supervision and validation from a designated person, such as an operator, shift lead, or engineer.
Controlled autonomy
The AI agent acts autonomously within defined boundaries to achieve the intended goal, adjusting schedules, rerouting tasks, or triggering specific workflows based on what’s happening in the moment.

Service knowledge base assistant
Itransition developed an AI-powered knowledge base assistant for a manufacturing company with complex production assets to help them troubleshoot technical issues more efficiently. The agent searches through manuals, schematics, service records, and technician notes, checking for previous similar incidents and how they were resolved, adds asset and failure context to incoming maintenance tickets, provides clear explanations of possible root causes of the issue, and assists in determining the next maintenance steps. Additionally, it drafts work orders, spare parts requests, escalation notes, and technician handovers and provides predictive maintenance recommendations based on equipment data analysis.

Conversational AI for multi-system production data analysis
Itransition’s team implemented a conversational AI solution to simplify interactions with production data for plant teams. The solution analyzes data from ERP, MES, and PLC systems and can answer questions, such as why the current shift is behind schedule or whether the next shift is ready to start. As a result, plant teams instantly receive answers in natural language that the system generates based on large volumes of production data spread across multiple systems.
